University of Aberystwyth, Student Health Centre

The Student Health Centre at the University of Aberystwyth is a terraced pair of buildings dating from the late Georgian period, with some Victorian alterations. The structures are three stories high, with a basement and attic, featuring three-window fronts made of scribed stucco. They have a high parapet, a band course, and a channelled ground floor. The roofs are slate, with brick and rubble chimney stacks. The buildings include pitched roof dormers with decorative bargeboards on the right and full-height splayed bay windows on the left outer bays, which are adorned with cornices, colonnettes, and panelled aprons.

There are central half-glazed porches with splayed angles and colonnettes on the left, and pilaster strips on the right. The right front features a first-floor bracketed balcony with Gothic traceried cast-iron railings that extends over the porch. At the rear of the Overseas Unit on the left, there is a part slate-hung conservatory.

Inside, the Overseas Unit retains fine interiors, including an entrance hall with arched openings leading to a groin-vaulted bay and a stairwell with a curved handrail. The main ground floor room on the left has a broad cornice decorated with foliage, a ribbed dado rail, and arched alcoves on two walls, with fluted pilasters on the east side and a panelled splay to the bat window, which has recesses leading to the Seminar Room. There is also a Gothic cupboard at the top of the stairwell. The Student Health Centre features good Georgian details, including an acanthus and fleuron cornice in the deep entrance hall, reeded pilasters, a square stairwell, and a stepped handrail.
